Joe Hobson, Jr. fled police during a traffic stop on Interstate 20. Authorities set up a perimeter and Hobson was located two hours later in a cold, muddy drainage creek where he had buried himself and had become stuck.

Hobson was transported to a local hospital and confined to Rockdale County Jail. He was found in possession of 29 grams of cocaine, seven grams of methamphetamine, 12 ounces of marijuana, Oxycodone, liquid codeine, two handguns (one stolen out of Covington) and $4,000.
